The Best Apps Students
Supercharge your productivity as a student!
These apps supercharge my workflow and help me complete my schoolwork! My hope is by sharing some of the apps I use for school, you can find some apps that will help you (or your child) with their schoolwork:
TickTick: TickTick is easily one of my favorite apps of all time! I use it to track all the homework I have for school, as well as set a pomodoro timer to increase productivity. You can do so much with this app, and it is one of the best apps for students. It is free to use unless you want the premium plan, but the premium plan is not necessary to have a great experience with this app! Be sure to check out my full review of this outstanding app! You can download this app on the App Store or Google Play!
GoodNotes 5: Long-time newsletter readers know that I’ve talked about GoodNotes 5 many times! It is one of my favorite apps, and it even won first place in my 2022 Apps of the Year Awards! I use it to take notes in class, work on assignments at home, and so much more! You definitely have to take advantage of this app (especially if you have an iPad and Apple Pencil). The app is free to download, but you have to pay $5 to unlock all features and unlimited notebooks, which is SO worth it! Read my full review on it here. Check it out on the App Store or Google Play.
Quizlet: I’m sure most of you have heard of Quizlet, but it really is an outstanding app for studying! You can use it to make flashcards and do all kinds of different exercises to study them and learn the material. You can also view study sets created by other people, find expert solutions, and share your sets with your friends. Quizlet does have ads which are very annoying and distracting. You can pay to remove them, but Quizlet Plus is $7.99 per month, which is super expensive for students! Other than that, this is a great app! Download it from the App Store or Google Play.
Memorize By Heart: I have shared Memorize By Heart in a previous newsletter, and shortly after, I saw multiple different people in my class (who I know are subscribed to my newsletter) using the app to study for a recitation. A coincidence? I think not! I know many of my classmates love this app and use it to study for recitations. If you don’t already have this app, you should definitely check it out because it is very useful! You can download it for free on the App Store or Google Play.
Duolingo: I’m sure most of you have heard of Duolingo, as it is a pretty popular app. Duolingo is a language learning platform that allows you to learn almost any language! If you aren’t taking a language class at your school, Duolingo would be a great way to learn a language. If you are taking a language class, Duolingo could be used as a supplement to help you learn the language along with the class you are taking! Duolingo is an outstanding app and the most-used language-learning app out there! You can download Duolingo on the App Store or Google Play.
Seterra: If you want to learn geography, whether for a class or on your own, Seterra is the perfect geography app! It allows you to take hundreds of different quizzes to test your geography skills and knowledge. This app has definitely helped me grow in my knowledge of geography. You can download it for free today on the App Store or Google Play.
Command: Command is a browser that has some unique features. It allows you to highlight on any webpage and save your highlights to a “Web Journal.” In this journal, you can store highlights, notes, images, and whatever else you find on the web. I don’t regularly use the Command browser, but I find it very useful when working on research projects. Check it out on the App Store (but it isn’t on Google Play).
Desmos: Desmos makes a great scientific calculator and graphing calculator app. These tools are super useful for completing math and science assignments (of course, check with your teacher to see if you are allowed to use these). You can download the Desmos Graphing Calculator on the App Store and Google Play, as well as the Desmos Scientific Calculator App on the App Store and Google Play.
I hope at least one of these apps will help you this coming school year by boosting your productivity, helping you study, or teaching you something new!
